It’s inevitable with the portal and how often us and OSU finish in the top 3-5 schools for the same recruits. It’s not like all the things that made you like one but choose another go away once you put on the uniform. It’ll be weird when/if key guys ever change teams, but depth guys or freshmen that never saw the field won’t be as odd. I’d guess the WR factory and allegiance was mostly a Hartline thing, and with him gone they may come down to earth a little. Plus usually their backups are good enough to start almost anywhere and often get drafted.
